Rural Nevada EMS Conference
The Rural Nevada EMS Conference is an annual event that plays a role in strengthening the capabilities of Nevada’s EMS personnel. Here are some key points about the conference:
1. Objective and Scope
- The conference spans four days in length and aims to enhance the skills and knowledge of rural providers ranging from Emergency Medical Responders (EMR) to Paramedics.
- It brings quality speakers from across the country, as well as local experts, who share their insights and expertise.
2. Education and CEUs:
- Classes are thoughtfully designed to address the specific needs of rural providers.
- Attendees can earn continuing education units (CEUs), which are essential for re-certification.
- The 2024 conference has been approved for CAPCE accreditation.
- While state approved CEUs are appreciated, the real value often lies in the exchange of knowledge among fellow EMS personnel.
3. Networking and Community Building
- Participants have the chance to network with other rural EMS professionals from both Nevada and neighboring states.
- This networking fosters a sense of comradery, especially for individuals living in isolated communities.
4. Self-Funding and Support:
- The conference is self-funded, with contributions from Nevada State EMS, local mines, vendors, and sponsors.
- This financial support allows for affordable conference fees and a limited number of scholarships.
